  The present invention relates to a software generation device, a software generation method, and a program. More specifically, the present invention relates to a software generation device that generates software executed by a predetermined control device, and software executed by a predetermined control device. The present invention relates to a software generation method and a program for generation.

  Many of the equipments represented by air-conditioning equipment are in an operational form in which a plurality of equipments distributed in a residential area or work area are centrally managed using a computer. This type of equipment consumes a large amount of power, and a great energy saving effect can be expected by adjusting the output frequently. Therefore, the operation program for adjusting the output of the equipment is becoming more and more complex year by year, and the amount of source code related to the operation program is increasing accordingly.

  The actual damage caused by errors in the process of executing the operation program may be significantly increased depending on the use of the equipment. For this reason, the allowable range of errors caused by programs used for operating equipment is narrower than the allowable range of errors caused by programs used for operating information equipment, for example. Therefore, it is generally expensive to manufacture an operation program for facility equipment.

  Therefore, a development support apparatus has been proposed for creating an operation program for facility equipment at low cost while maintaining quality (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  The development support apparatus disclosed in Patent Literature 1 extracts state transition conditions that should be mutually exclusive from state transition information. This makes it possible to easily confirm whether or not the state transition condition that should have exclusivity actually has exclusivity. And the state transition condition which does not have exclusivity can be corrected without omission so that it may have exclusivity. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation where the software repeats a specific process indefinitely or a lot of source code is generated unnecessarily.

Generating means for generating the software based on the data comprising the blocks;
Is provided.

  According to the present invention, source code for generating software is converted into data composed of a plurality of blocks. Therefore, the user can change the contents of processing by software and the order of processing by exchanging a certain block with a desired block or changing the arrangement of the blocks. Therefore, a desired program can be generated with a simple operation.

  The main storage unit 21d has a nonvolatile memory such as DRAM or SRAM. The main storage unit 21d is used as a work area for the CPU 21a.

  The auxiliary storage unit 21e has a nonvolatile memory such as a magnetic disk or a flash memory. The auxiliary storage unit 10e stores the operation program 105 output from the software generation device 10.

  The communication unit 21f has, for example, a serial interface, a LAN interface, a wireless communication interface, and the like. The remote control device 21 communicates with the software generation device 10 and the air conditioner 22 via the communication unit 21f.

  The CPU 21a reads and executes the operation program 105 stored in the auxiliary storage unit 21e. Thereby, the operation information such as the set temperature, the set air volume, and the operation mode set by the command from the user is output to the air conditioner 22 via the communication unit 21f.

  The communication unit 22c has, for example, a serial interface or a wireless communication interface. The air conditioner 22 communicates with the remote control device 21 via the communication unit 22c.

  The flowchart of FIG. 5 corresponds to a series of algorithms of a program executed by the CPU 10a of the software generation device 10. Hereinafter, the operation of the software generation apparatus 10 will be described with reference to FIG. When the software generation device 10 is activated, the CPU 10a reads a program for generating the operation program 105 from the auxiliary storage unit 10e and executes it.

  In the first step S201, the CPU 10a waits for an operation program generation command from the user. When a generation command is input from the user via the input unit 10c (step S201: Yes), the CPU 10a proceeds to next step S202.

  In the next step S202, the CPU 10a reads the source code 102 stored in the auxiliary storage unit 10e. Then, as can be seen with reference to FIG. 4, the line number NM is added to the source code 102, and the source code 102 is expanded in the main storage unit 10d.

In the next step S203, the CPU 10a executes a matching process for the source code 102 developed in the main storage unit 10d. Specifically, CPU 10a from the source code pattern _{P N} constituting the dictionary information 101 stored in the auxiliary storage unit 10e, reads the first source code pattern _{P 1.} Next, the character string constituting the source code pattern P ₁ is compared with the character string constituting the source code 102.

CPU10a is a character string that constitutes the source code pattern P _1, if the character string constituting the source code 102 matches, the source code pattern P ₁ is determined to be matching. For example, a character string constituting the source code pattern P ₁ shown in FIG. 3, as seen with reference to FIG. 4, that match the string of source code 102 [004] from row to [007] row. In this case CPU10a, a source code pattern _{P 1} is determined to be matching.

CPU10a, for the source code pattern _{P N} from the source code pattern _{P 1,} performs sequential aforementioned matching process.

In the next step S204, CPU 10a generates a control block information 103 _N about the source code pattern _{P N} the matched. Figure 6 is a diagram schematically showing a control block information 103 _N. As shown in FIG. 6, the control block information 103 _N is composed of an identification number ID _N and position information LD _N assigned to the control block BC _N.

Identification number ID _N is a number for identifying the control blocks BC _N associated with the source code pattern P _N. This identification number ID _N is, for example, a continuous number from the control block BC ₁ to the control block BC _N.

Position information LD _N is in the source code 102 is information indicating the position of the source code pattern _{P N.} The final example, the position information of the source code pattern P ₁ the matched and the source code 102, as seen with reference to FIG. 4, line number [004] - [007] and the line number [004] of the first row for identifying Contains information about row [007]. The position information LD _N, it is possible to determine the location of source code pattern P _N is matched.

In the next step S205, CPU 10a generates a control block related information 104 _N about the source code pattern _{P N} the matched. Figure 7 is a diagram schematically showing a control block related information 104 _N. As shown in FIG. 7, the control block related information 104 _N includes the identification number ID _N of the control block BC _N associated with the matched source code pattern _PN , and the position when matching with the source code 102. The identification number ID _i of the control block BC _i associated with the source code pattern P _i preceding the source code pattern P _N and the position when matched with the source code 102 are behind this source code pattern P _N It includes information on the identification number ID _j of the control block BC _j associated with the source code pattern P _j .

For example, the control block related information 104 ₁ about the source code pattern _{P 1,} as seen with reference to FIG. 4, the identification number ID ₁ control block BC ₁ associated with the source code pattern _{P 1,} the source code pattern P the identification number _{ID N1} of the source code pattern _{P N1} which matched in position in front of _1, including information regarding the identification number _{ID N1} Metropolitan source code pattern _{P N1} which matched in position behind the source code pattern _{P 1.}

In the next step S206, it generates the conversion data CD and control block information 103 _N, and a control block related information 104 _N. As seen with reference to FIG. 4, the conversion data CD, the control block BC _N associated with the source code pattern P _N which is matched to the source code 102 is arranged on the basis of the position information of the control block information 103 _N It is data generated by this.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, source code pattern P _N1 , source code pattern P ₁ , source code pattern P _N3 , source code pattern P _N2 ,... In this case, conversion data CD in which a control block BC _N1 , a control block BC ₁ , a control block BC _N3 , a control block BC _N2,.

In the next step S207, the CPU 10a displays the content of the conversion data CD on the display unit 10b. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a window W1 displayed on the display unit 10b. As shown in FIG. 8, CPU 10a is a control block BC _N constituting the conversion data CD, displayed using the corresponding icon IC _N.

  As a result, the operator can visually understand and correct the driving program 105 generated based on the source code 102. For example, when changing the conversion data CD, the operator first selects and double-clicks a desired icon IC using a mouse or the like. As a result, a window W2 showing the contents of the source code 102 pops up. In this window W2, a character string corresponding to the icon IC double-clicked in the source code 102 is displayed with emphasis by a frame or a marker indicated by a dotted line.

The operator can correct the source code 102 by inserting a character string representing a desired command into the window W2. For example, as can be seen by referring to the window W2 in FIG. 9, a command for updating the operation mode is inserted between the temperature update command corresponding to the icon IC ₁ and the air volume change command corresponding to the icon IC _2. Thus, a command for updating the operation mode can be added to the source code 102. In this case, as can be seen by referring to the window W1 in FIG. 9, a new icon IC _NW corresponding to the added command is displayed between the icon IC ₁ and the icon IC ₂ . The operator can also change the source code 102 by inserting the icon IC _NW between the icon IC ₁ and the icon IC ₂ .

  In the next step S208, the CPU 10a waits for an input from the above-described operator. If the source code 102 is changed (step S208: Yes), the process proceeds to step S209. Then, the conversion data CD is changed to correspond to the changed source code 102, and the process returns to step S207. Thereafter, the CPU 10a repeatedly executes the processes in steps S207 to S209 until the determination in step S208 is affirmed. As a result, the operator can correct or edit the source code 102 while checking the conversion data CD generated based on the latest source code 102.

  On the other hand, when the correction of the source code 102 is completed by the operator and the final source code 102 is confirmed (step S208: No), the CPU 10a proceeds to step S210.

For convenience of explanation, it finalized the converted data CD is, for example, those composed of 10 control block BC _N. Each control block is assumed to be one of a structure block, a calling block, a control block indicating a measurement start probe, a control block indicating a measurement end probe, and an access block.

The above-described structural block is a control block corresponding to the source code indicating the branch of the process or the loop operation of the process. The calling block is a control block corresponding to source code indicating an operation for calling a process corresponding to another control block. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the measurement starting probe block is a control block indicated by the small circle icon IC _S. The measurement end probe block is a control block indicated by the small circle icon IC _E. These control blocks are control blocks corresponding to the source code indicating that the time required for the process indicated by the control block located between the measurement start probe block and the measurement end probe block is measured. In addition, the access block performs an access process to a specified address based on information such as an address for specifying a resource such as a memory or a file, a type of write data, and a data write destination or a read destination. This is a control block corresponding to the source code indicating.

  In step S210, the CPU 10a executes a subroutine 300 shown in the flowchart of FIG. First, in the first step S301, the CPU 10a resets the counter n.

  In the next step S302, the CPU 10a increments the counter n.

In the next step S303, CPU 10a, the control block BC _N of the N-th constituting the converted data CD (1 th in this case), it is determined whether a structural block. Then, N-th control block BC _N is, if a structural block (Step S303: Yes), the process proceeds to step S304.

In the next step S304, CPU 10a, based on the source code pattern _{P N} associated with the control block BC _N, generates a program for executing branch processing. Here, the branching process is to execute different processes depending on whether the condition is met or not.

  On the other hand, if the determination in step S303 is negative (step S303: No), the CPU 10a proceeds to step S305.

In step S305, CPU 10a, the control block BC _N of the N-th constituting the converted data CD (1 th in this case), it is determined whether the calling block. Then, N-th control block BC _N is, when a call block (Step S305: Yes), the process proceeds to the next step S306.

In step S306, CPU 10a, based on the source code pattern _{P N} associated with the control block BC _N, generates a program for performing call processing. Here, the calling process is a process in which another process is executed first and the next process is performed after the process is completed.

  On the other hand, when the determination in step S305 is negative (step S305: No), the CPU 10a proceeds to step S307.

In step S307, CPU 10a, the control block BC _N of the N-th constituting the converted data CD (1 th in this case), it is determined whether the measurement start probe block. Then, N-th control block BC _N is, when a measurement start probe block (Step S307: Yes), the process proceeds to the next step S308.

In step S308, CPU 10a, based on the source code pattern _{P N} associated with the control block BC _N, generates a program for starting processing of the measurement. Here, the measurement start process is a process for starting the measurement of elapsed time by a measurement start command.

  On the other hand, when the determination in step S307 is negative (step S307: No), the CPU 10a proceeds to step S309.

In step S309, CPU 10a, the control block BC _N of the N-th constituting the converted data CD (1 th in this case), it is determined whether the measurement end probe block. Then, N-th control block BC _N is, when a measurement end probe block (Step S309: Yes), the process proceeds to the next step S310.

In step S310, CPU 10a, based on the source code pattern _{P N} associated with the control block BC _N, generates a program for performing termination processing of the measurement. Here, the measurement termination process is a process for terminating the measurement of elapsed time by a measurement termination command.

  On the other hand, when the determination in step S309 is negative (step 309: No), the CPU 10a proceeds to step S311.

In step S311, CPU 10a, based on the source code pattern _{P N} associated with the control block BC _N, generates a program for executing an access process. Here, the access process is a process of reading from a predetermined address in the memory and writing to a predetermined address in the memory.

  When the processes in steps S304, S306, S308, S310, and S311 described above are completed, the CPU 10a proceeds to the next step S312.

In step S312, the CPU 10a determines whether the counter n is smaller than a threshold value. This threshold value is equivalent to the total number of control blocks constituting the conversion data CD, and is 10 here. When the value of the counter n is smaller than the threshold value (step S312: Yes), the CPU 10a returns to step S302, and thereafter repeatedly executes the processing from step S302 to S312 until the determination in step S312 is denied. . Thus, the program of the N from the control block BC _N source code pattern P _N which corresponds to that constitute the conversion data CD (10 pieces in this case) is generated.

  On the other hand, when the counter n is equal to or greater than the threshold value (step S312: No), the CPU 10a proceeds to the next step S313.

  In step S313, the CPU 10a generates the operation program 105 by aligning the N programs in series and associating the preceding and following programs with each other. When the operation program 105 is generated in step S313, the CPU 10a ends the subroutine 300, and proceeds to step S211.

  In step S211, the CPU 10a outputs the operation program 105 to the remote control device 21 via the communication unit 10f. The operation program 105 output to the remote control device 21 is output to the auxiliary storage unit 21e via the communication unit 21f constituting the remote control device 21. As a result, the operation program 105 is installed in the remote control device 21.

  When the process of step S211 is completed, the CPU 10a ends the process for generating the operation program 105.

  Next, the operation of the remote control device 21 in which the operation program 105 is installed will be described.

  When the operation program 105 is installed, the CPU 21a constituting the remote control device 21 reads the operation program 105 from the auxiliary storage unit 21e and executes the operation program 105. In that case, CPU21a starts measurement of elapsed time by the measurement start command based on the measurement start probe of the driving program 105, and ends measurement of elapsed time by the measurement end command based on the measurement end probe. With this operation, the time (required time) required for the processing executed after the measurement start command is executed until the measurement end command is executed is measured. When measuring the required time, the CPU 21a outputs information related to the measurement result to the software generation apparatus 10 via the communication unit 21f.

When receiving information related to the measurement result, the CPU 10a of the software generation apparatus 10 compares the measurement result with the operation constraint condition information 106. FIG. 11 is a diagram schematically showing the operation constraint condition information 106. As shown in FIG. 11, the operation constraint condition information 106 includes information on the control block identification number ID _S indicating the measurement start probe, the control block identification number ID _E indicating the measurement end probe, and the time limit LM. Has been.

  The CPU 10a specifies the measurement start command and the measurement end command from the identification number of the operation constraint condition information 106, and specifies the time limit from the execution of the measurement start command to the execution of the measurement end command. Then, the measurement result (required time) output from the remote control device 21 is compared with the time limit, and the comparison result is displayed on the display unit 10b.

  12 and 13 are diagrams showing the comparison results displayed on the display unit 10b. For example, when the measurement result is shorter than the time limit, the CPU 10a displays the window W3 shown in FIG. 12 on the display unit 10b to indicate that the processing by the remote control device 21 has been performed within the time limit. To do. On the other hand, when the measurement result is longer than the time limit, the CPU 10a displays the window W4 shown in FIG. 13 on the display unit 10b and confirms that the processing by the remote control device 21 has not been performed within the time limit. indicate.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the source code 102 for generating the operation program 105 is converted into the conversion data CD including the control block BC by performing the matching using the source code pattern P. . Then, the conversion data CD composed of the control block BC can be visually recognized by the icon IC defined corresponding to the control block BC. Therefore, the operator of the software generation apparatus 10 can visually grasp the contents of the source code 102.

  In the present embodiment, by operating the icon IC displayed on the display unit 10b, a window displaying the source code pattern P at a location related to the icon pops up. The source code 102 can be created or edited by adding the source code to the window or deleting the source code displayed in the window. Therefore, the source code 102 can be created sensuously and easily, and the operation program 105 can be easily created.

  In the present embodiment, the source code 102 is displayed by the arrangement of the icon ICs displayed on the display unit 10b. The source code 102 can be created or edited by inserting a desired icon IC between these icon ICs or deleting unnecessary icons. Therefore, the source code 102 can be created sensuously and easily, and the operation program 105 can be easily created.

  In the present embodiment, the time required when the operation program 105 is executed by the remote control device 21 is evaluated. Then, as can be seen with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13, for example, the evaluation result is displayed in a window popped up on the input screen. Thereby, the operator of the software generation apparatus 10 can visually grasp the load and the like of the remote control device 21. Therefore, the created operation program 105 can be easily verified.

  In the present embodiment, the conversion data CD is created by matching the source code pattern P with the source code 102. Thereby, the conversion data CD can be generated also from the source code pattern generated by another device.

  In the present embodiment, conversion data is generated by matching using the source code pattern P constituting the dictionary information. Therefore, for example, by using dictionary information corresponding to the use of the driving program 105, various driving programs 105 can be easily created.

  In the present embodiment, the software generation device 10 is connected to the remote control device 21 via a communication line such as a LAN or a serial cable. For this reason, the operation program 105 can be easily verified.

As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited by the said embodiment. For example, in the above-described embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 4, the case where all of the source code 102 is replaced with the source code pattern P constituting the dictionary information 101 has been described. However, as shown in FIG. 14, for example, it may be considered that there is no source code pattern P defined by the source code from the [004] line to the [0007] line. In this case, CPU 10a is newly defined control block BC _A whose content source code to [0007] row from the 004] row. Then, to generate the converted data CD in the control block group including the control block BC _A.
